Fit:
True to size

I just ordered my second pair of these sunglasses. I love them. I have a medium face and I find them very comfortable. I had the nose slippage problem like everyone else until I made some slight modifications. I took some SUGRU and made rubber grip points on the frames where they contact my nose and behind my ears. Now the shades stay put no matter what I am doing. I don't think they are worth $70, but at $30 they are some of the best shades you could ask for.

I have had these shoes for at least three years and I wear them everyday. That is to say from the mountains to the office. These have been a very durable shoe for me. I usually ruin shoes in less than half the time that these lasted. They were a bit too stiff for me at first, but I gave them time to break in, and they became some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. They grip well and handle just about any terrain. I hike, bike, and climb in them. I have even climbed some 5.10's in them. They are also pretty water proof. I have hiked through snow and water in these and my foot only got wet if water got in the top. These are do everything super shoes. I can't recommend this shoe enough. I love it.

I absolutely love this sweater. It is soft, and very comfy. I wear it as often as I can. It feels well made and I expect it to last a long time. I am surprised how warm it is in most conditions (wind goes through it pretty easily though). I have long limbs and all Kuhl clothing fits me well. I am a loyal Kuhl customer because their clothes are so comfy. I own many of their jackets and pants. I am 6ft2.5in 175lbs and large fits me nicely.

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I was looking for a work-type glove that would be more durable than the average ski glove. I tried the Stoic Duke glove and hated the overall fit and feel. I went with this glove because it has a great fit, is very comfortable, has a gore-tex liner, and is leather. I really like the gloves. However, I wish they were a little warmer, and I wish they had a strap to tighten the glove around the wrist. Overall, I would recommend the gloves despite these minor short-falls.
